Ruby on Rails

Class Requirements

You must have a basic understanding of Ruby or another programming language, such as BASH, Perl, Python, JavaScript, C, C++, etc.  You should also be familiar with object oriented programming concepts such as classes and objects.

I periodically teach a Ruby basics class and if you come to that, you are ready.  The material from that class is a webpage.  If you can get through the webpage, you can come too.  The webpage is:
